Crossroads president, Stan Frederick, is back in the states to recharge and brainstorm about the next move for the ministry. Over the past fifteenth years, God has been faithful to increase the harvest.

Shortly,
before Stan returned he held a pastor's training seminar at Lake
Naivasha, about 60 miles form the city of Nairobi. The men there told him they have been
praying God would send someone to start a Bible training school in the area Could this be what's next?

With groups such as the Southern Baptist's International Mission Broad asking 600 missionaries to retire early, the "go ye therefore and teach all nations" command will be an even bigger challenge. One might ask?..."Where does all that money collected by church go"? Well, according to a study from the Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU), 82% of their budget goes to personnel, buildings and administration expenses. However, God is still in the business of answering prayer and when God wants to move a mountain, He provides the manpower and the shovel.

As missionaries we consider cross-cultural missions to be a thrilling expedition, full of challenges and discoveries. Our travels take us to some amazing places and people. As we leave our "base camp" we are blessed to ‘forge streams’ of new relationships and ‘climb mountains’ with those who survive solely on hope. It's a wonderful adventure. Please join us. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:14-16, the apostle Paul

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
